Wing section 13 - Main Spar

Image
 Section 13 was a lot about counter sinking and nut plates. I didn't take many pictures. J channel are match drilled against the main spar assembly, but they are used on the top skin. It took me a while to understand that for some reason.   I got some help from my wife on the counter sinking task. Instead of point priming the material revealed after counter sinking, i primed the whole flange. 14 Wing Ribs I've already started on next section. A few pictures below.

Wing kit has arrived

The wing kit arrived on Friday (9th October) and today was used to inventory the two boxes. Even though the two boxes had been on a 2 month journey, they were undamaged. A few item was missing, but will hopefully show up soon. One piece J Channel longs was missing, and that one is needed already in the first section. But it's possible to use a short J channel instead. Also the W-1025B-R FLAP HINGE RIB is i bit critical for the progress as it needed in the section 14.
